Unfortunately neither Charles Cawley in the Medlands database nor Alison Weir give any sources for the triple name. This site http://sbaldw.home.mindspring.com/hproject/prov/henry001.htm just gives her name as Mathilde citing Orderic Vitalis.

Also I don't understand where the LNAB of Adelin for William has come from? It seems very unusual, but perhaps I've missed something.

MedLands says his wife was Alice and adopted the name Maud on marriage. Nobody seems to have a primary source for the name Isabel, though everybody thinks it's the same girl.

Found Normandie-105 - she wasn't married to him but I take it she's supposed to be another version of his wife, from the dates and places, in spite of the LNAB

I had a go at cleaning up some of the input on Wm, first attempt as I haven't had the temerity to do this on any profile before - if you are interested - please have a look..if you think more can be done -please do - I am going to put a bit of bio on his profile as his early death changed history!
